So which Ochem topics are no longer tested on the current MCAT?

[m25]

So I'm looking at https://www.aamc.org/students/download/85566/data/bstopics.pdf to which ochem topics are no longer being tested, but I wasn't sure if any of the topics below are still in the MCAT:
Markovinok Addition
Anti-Markovinok Addition
Oxymerc-demurc
Radical Addition to Alkene
Oozonolysis
Aldol condensation
Diels Alder Reaction
Whether certain groups are deactivating/activating and leads to meta/para-ortho addition on benzene ring.

I definitely know Aldol condensations are included. I don't know about the others. I am taking the 2015 mcat next September and I am going to use the non-2015 mcat books to study, because the changes are very small between the old and new mcat. Although I am going to buy the biochem and psyc/socio books,

If it's on their list, I think it's fair game.

As far as I know, a lot of alkene reactions are, for the most part, out of the question. I believe we only need to know Oozonolysis, Aldol condensation, and Diels-Alder from that list (along with things like the Wittig reaction). But don't take my word for it!

Where can we find the list of Orgo stuff to learn for 2015 Mcat (new one)

I believe it's coming out next year after the current MCAT is over.
